These days, when I watch the news, I realize that the wars the U.S. is fighting are completely different from before.

It's not like the Gulf War, where tens of thousands of troops were mobilized, tanks lined up, and fighter jets flew in formations.

Now, it's about precisely targeting and eliminating one enemy, one objective. What the U.S. is showing these days reflects that trend.

Recently, the kidnapping of Maduro was about capturing or eliminating key figures in cartel organizations and cutting off their command lines.

This is what we now call 'surgical action.' It's a mission that, like surgery, removes only the necessary parts.

In the past, wars were about numbers. More troops meant victory, more tanks meant pushing forward, and more fighter jets meant superiority.

But now, that formula has almost been broken. In modern warfare, information is more terrifying than numbers.

Knowing where the enemy is, when they move, and who they are connected to. The moment you have that information, you have already secured more than half of your combat power.

With satellites reporting locations, drones providing real-time surveillance, and communications being intercepted, artificial intelligence analyzes patterns as well.

What would have required a battalion-sized force in the past can now be accomplished with just a few drones and a small special forces team.

The very concept of war that the U.S. engages in has changed. It's no longer about occupying land but about eliminating key targets.

There are practical reasons for this. Full-scale war is extremely costly. Moving troops and deploying equipment leads to astronomical expenses.

Moreover, if casualties increase, public opinion turns against it immediately. In a democratic country, this is fatal.

In contrast, precision strikes are quick and quiet. They achieve objectives while minimizing damage.

As a result, the meaning of traditional military power has also changed. Having many tanks and troops does not automatically mean being strong.

The core of modern warfare consists of four elements: information, precision strike capability, cyber and electronic warfare, and special forces.

Many battles are already being decided in areas that are not visible.

Especially, drones have changed the game. It's an era where million-dollar tanks or armored vehicles can be taken down by drones costing tens of thousands of dollars.

Large troop movements? Satellites are watching everything. There's nowhere to hide.

Now, it's not about who has more; it's about who sees first and strikes accurately first that wins.

Ultimately, wars change with the times.

If the past was the era of 'great power,' now it is the era of 'precise power.' On the surface, it seems quiet.

There are no front lines and no large-scale clashes. Eliminating one target is more effective than breaking down a front line.

The number of troops and equipment is now a one-dimensional story. Information, speed, and accuracy determine victory or defeat.

These days, I believe wars are not about quantity but are games that have already been decided in unseen places.
